Barbadian singer Rihanna and her beau, rapper A$AP Rocky are expecting their second baby.

The 34-year-old performer took the stage at halftime of Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday night.

The performance marked the pop star's first time to take the stage in almost seven years.

Rihanna sang and danced to a number of her well-known hits like “We Found Love”, “Where Have You Been”, “Diamonds”, and “Work”.

However, social media and media went into a meltdown when the superstar revealed an unexpected special guest.

Dressed head-to-toe in bright red, Rihanna revealed a baby bump. She played up the big reveal in the opening moments of her performance, rubbing her stomach and leaving the zipper of her outfit — a jumpsuit layered over a close-fitting bodysuit and sculpted bandeau — down to reveal her belly.

The Grammy winner and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child in May 2022. 

He was seen excitedly supporting her on the sidelines during the show, filming her performance and dancing along.

Rihanna first revealed in January 2022 that she was expecting her first child with Rocky, 33. After she was photographed debuting her baby bump in New York City, a source told PEOPLE that Rihanna is "excited to be a mom" and "couldn't be happier."

"Everything Rihanna does, she does it her own way on her own timetable, and having a baby is no different," the source said.

The insider added that the couple was over the moon about their baby on the way.

"They're just like any other pair of parents-to-be. Yes, they happen to be famous, but they're just the cutest, giddiest young couple that's expecting kids."

Rihanna opened her highly-anticipated Super Bowl performance with "B--- Better Have My Money". She became the first pregnant woman to star in the halftime show.

Before welcoming their first child, Rihanna told Elle that, as a fan of The Real Housewives franchise, she believes her parenting style will be similar to Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice.

"Teresa from Jersey does not play about her kids. She will flatten you about those kids. And that resonates with me a lot because I feel like that's the type of mom I'm going to be. Psycho about it." Rihanna told the outlet. "
